1. Auktionshaus Carsten Zeige acts as commissioner for unnamed consignors. All business is conducted in Euro.
2. All lots may be examined on our premises and cannot be sent to prospective bidders for purposes of their inspection. All lots are sold "as is", with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. Prospective buyers submitting written "order bids", may file complaints within 6 weeks after sale, however, this in no way entitles them to delay final payment.

No guarantee as to the operation or firing condition of any weapon offered for sale is made by Auktionshaus Carsten Zeige.
3. The auctioneer reserves the right to rearrange, separate, exclude or withdraw any lot without giving a reason.
4. Order bids will be handled carefully and at no additional charge, however, without warranty. Bids marked "best" or "in any case", do not have absolute preference. The best way to assure obtaining a particular lot is by establishing a maximum price limit. Order bids from foreign and overseas countries should indicate how the successfully bidded items are to be sent (for xample: by air mail, without custom declaration papers, etc.).
5. On the fall of the hammer, a lot goes to the highest bidder. However, the auctioneer may refuse any bid submitted either in person or by mail, if said bidder is unknown to him, does not have a satisfactory reference or has not made a sufficient deposit prior to the auction. Likewise, the aforementioned right of refusal also applies to a customer, whose account has not been settled in full at auction time. Identical bids will be decided by drawing lots. Bidding may be renewed on any items in dispute.
6. The successful bidder is obligated to take and pay for the lot. From then on, he bears all risks, however, until full payment, the lot remains the property of Auktionshaus Carsten Zeige. Commission charges are 23 % including V.A.T. The V.A.T. is not refundable. Payment is due immediately in cash and in Euro.
